Having selected the gifts, An Hao and Gu Shuangshuang took the bus back to the military compound. As they just reached the entrance, they spotted Cheng Yue and Li Zhi holding a large cake, with Cheng Yue also carrying a bouquet of fresh flowers standing there.
"Just the two of you? Why didn't Zhang Chaoqian come?" Gu Shuangshuang casually asked. These three were basically an iron trio, often coming and going together.
"That guy ate something wrong and is having bouts of vomiting and diarrhea in the dormitory. So, he didn't come," Cheng Yue said.
"You can't get in, can you?" An Hao wondered, seeing the two men hanging around without moving.
"Yeah," Li Zhi said, scratching his head in embarrassment, "Got carried away today and forgot to ask Teacher Yan for his number. Only realized I'd forgotten it when we got here. Here we are, waiting for the two of you. With you here, we can follow you in."
The guard recognized An Hao and let her pass.
